DOPE SICK RADIO EPISODE 79 - TUESDAY, AUGUST 9 2011 - THE LENNY BRUCE EPISODE

Lenny Bruce was an entertainer far too ahead of his time. He rose from the underground and became a pioneer for free speech and social satire. He challenged his audience and authority alike and faced great consequence as a result. His public commentary on war, politics, corruption, race issues, and sex rubbed all the wrong people in all the wrong ways. He was arrested on obscenity charges in practically every major city across America. It can be stated that Lenny Bruce pushed the boundaries of spoken word to the limits of the law. By the end of his career he couldnât book a gig.

Lenny Bruce was a truth-seeker who built a career breaking down walls of multi-layered facades. He was haunted by the fact that the establishment had silenced him and spent the last years of his life trying to clear his name of the reputation that he was nothing more than a filthy comic. His last wishes would never fully be realized. His years of struggles with drug addiction would take his life in 1968 at the age of 40.

This is the Dope Sick Radio way of paying respects to an influential entertainer whose life and career were cut far too short. This is Lenny Bruce Episode. Enjoy.
